Ok now one thing that should not be confused is the moan of a spine shot deer and that of an emotionally excited buck in the presence of a hot doe and other bucks. Yes they sound very similar(or even the same) but obviously they are made under 2 COMPLETELY unrelated circumstances and have absolutely NO connection between each other. The call makers certainly were not trying to mimic the groans of a spine shot deer with their call. So to try and equate that, with the real “growl” doesn’t really make sense. But it is a good way to describe the sound to someone.
We will just have to agree to disagree on your point.
The growl, as I have heard it described, is a aggressive/highly agitatedsound produced by bucks. To say that a paralyzing shot could not cause a buck to make a sound, one that I know and equated to the "growl" or "roar", is unfounded. Not to try to convince you, but the buck was lured in with a Pee Willie Wick scent dispenser full of Ms. Does Pee at the end of January in Alabama. Spelled out in simple terms...FULL RUT!
Sorry if this comes across harsh, but seems to be alot of "name calling" on this site from time-to-time. No need in refuting what a person believes, believes they hear/saw, etc. by coming across as implying they are lying. What is the point in that?
